Aborted have become a somewhat controversial band by the direction they have seemingly taken. It was clear to everyone on the bands last attempt "The Archaic Abattoir" that the band had swung even more so towards a melodic death metal field which understandably did not please too many of their already existing fans, but also gained the band access to a new audience of fans.

A very ferocious and brutal album indeed. Parts of it remind me of 'Symphonies of Sickness' by Carcass (the album), whereas other parts remind me of early cannibal corpse (Pre-1992). That's not a bad thing, because this album features the best of both of those worlds in my opinion. The guitar work, as always, is precisely spot on, and the drums batter on seemingly forever. A better affair than 'The Archaic Abattoir', though not quite their best.
